The illness of Ludwig II of Bavaria
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 July 2009
Synopsis
It has been argued by many biographers of King Ludwig II that he was not mentally ill but simply labelled mad as part of a conspiracy to remove him from the throne. The evidence for his mental disorder is reviewed and the conclusion drawn that he was probably suffering from a schizophrenic illness of some twenty years duration prior to his suicide in 1886.
